In the early 1950's my uncle was landlord of the Old No.12 which was on the Haymarket then he moved round to the Rotherham House which (I believe) was in Exchange Street at that time.

I have seen a couple of photos on picture Sheffield.com but, is there any available information anywhere of the unusual layout of the Old No.12 which, according to my 82 years old mum, had a room which was frequented by the market traders and another one which was more of a "cocktail bar" where the solicitors used to drink when they were attending the court houses. I can recall the Rotherham House very well as I used to stay there as a child and I remember the concert room having a stage with a mike, it also had function rooms above. Did this pub later become the Bernie Inn?

My uncle moved to the Greengate Inn at High Green which, at the time, was a newly-built pub, this must have been around the mid 1950's.

Not big on accuracy, is it?

 

Some Mostly very out of date and innaccurate information.

 

 

If Classic Rock were to see the entry for her old pub (now demolished) I think she'd have a fit, as it's still listed as the Jolly bufer, not CRB, never mind that the place has, sadly, been demolished for ages! (not to mention according to the site, the wards' brewery is "recently closed!" ) jeesh!

 

 

Not quite a fit - I had more of a fit (to myself) when the demolition squad moved in and bulldozed a piece of Sheffield's rock and roll history.

 

I think these pictures were all taken at a similar time to create this site and I suspect that would have been 2002 because that's when the Jolly Buffer had those boards over the windows. I took it on in early 2003.

 

It's a really faceless picture of the pub, no character at all with boards on the windows! Not a parked up motorbike in sight.

...it was a excellent venue. I enjoyed many a forum meet there, back in the day (when I was drinking) and the excellent hospitality of you and Sass as hosts.

 

bulldozed...

 

cos that's just what the city needs, isn't it, more overpriced apartments, when the ones already in existence can't even be shifted...

The original Harlequin did look like a lovely pub in the old photo I have seen and had an interesting history. Unfortunately I never visited it while I had the chance.

 

Can you give a more accurate description of where it was, as it is described as a riverside pub and at 26 johnson street. Was it at the other corner of Johnson street to the Manchester, or was it at the edge of the river ?

 

The Harlequin was a tremendous pub. A smallish, three roomed pub, with a pot-bellied stove on one. I recall a mural on the wall on the way to the outside loos as well.

 

It was on the corner of Johnson St and Stanley St.

Well I have been working on my Neepsend section this weekend.

There is no substitute for legwork and taking your own photographs. Especially when the weather is a good as it has been today.
